*HARRUMPH*
Not that I am surprised. A bit disappointed that the people of Texas are actually as bigoted as the rest of the nation thinks they are, but not surprised.
One high point is that only 66.45% of my county voted for it, so we aren't quite as backwards as the rest of the state. Chris & James (and Jonas and Peter for that matter), however, should be embarrassed, if not afraid, as Collin County was 74.45% for it.
There were a few statewide propositions that did go the way I wanted to. For instance, Prop 4 was resoundingly passed. It was basically an amendment to deny bail to defendants that have violated their pretrial release conditions.
On the local front Dallas's Proposition 1 (the "Strong Mayor" prop) narrowly failed. And proposition 14 to issue "$23,800,000 general obligation bonds for homeless assistance facilities" passed (59.14%). The problem with Prop 14, is that making the homeless more comfortable only makes more people not mind being homeless. It's unfortunate but true. It even attracts the homeless from other cities. They go where they are welcomed.
